mrsgthatsme Posted February 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I was reading on Trip advisor and it looks like many people were saying that in order to experience really good snorkeling, it was necessary to go by boat with a tour group. My husband would like to snorkel but I would rather stay on the beach. Is it worth it for him to take a tour through blue divers tour group or would he be able to Find sufficiently good snorkeling on his own anywhere? If he does go snorkeling with the group, would I be safe to stay on the beach by myself for those three hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I would do the tour. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsgthatsme Posted February 27, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thank you for your reply. Would you say Blue Water Divers is better than booking through the cruise ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 27, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) I would look at the pricing to see the difference. If it's large I would book with the tour group rather than with the cruise line. Just be sure you can get any deposit money back because once in a while ships can't get into Grand Turk if the weather is bad.

cruisesoon Posted February 27, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I suggest doing a tour. We went with White Sands tours and they were amazing. Showed us so much stuff. Made 3 stops and had chance to swim with the sting rays. Brent and Tony also dove for conch shells and got one to take home. A nice souvenir from the island. They also fixed conch salad. Was a wonderful day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nauti Nana Posted March 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 12, 2016 We have gone with Blue Water Divers several times. They are wonderful and I think you'd be fine on beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen1 Posted March 23, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2016 omg, NO QUESTION take a snorkel tour. :D One of their snorkel stops is "The Wall," where the ocean floor drops awaaaaaaaay. It goes from 40-50 feet deep to 6000+. It's an underwater Grand Canyon. It's very cool to see it!!! We've snorkeled with Blue Water Divers once (just 2 of us), and Grand Turk Diving once (12 of us). As mentioned, try to find a provider who doesn't require a prepaid deposit -- we've had our cruise ship miss this port once, due to high winds. You'll be fine alone on the beach, because you'll be surrounded by 2000 of your new BFF's. Have a great time! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USERBOYD66 Posted May 23, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Tell me, are there any outside vendors that do not reimburse you if the ship does not stop at Grand Turk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
